The proposed use is an appropriate conditional use in the Commercial District. The Land Use Matrix indicates single family dwellings are considered conditional uses in the Commercial zone. 2. The proposed does not conflict with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, which does not address housing in commercial districts, but does indicate that the City should encourage and promote home ownership within the City. 3. The proposed use, with conditions, would be compatible with the existing neighborhood. An apartment complex is located to the west, with light industrial operations to the south. 4. The proposed use would not be injurious to the public health, safety, or welfare as it is located in the existing parsonage building, which has been used in a similar manner for a number of years. 5. The proposed use is unlikely to be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other properties in the immediate vicinity, as it is a single family dwelling near a larger apartment complex and light industrial operation. 6. The proposed use should not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding vacant properties, especially as the proposed use is, in itself, a reuse of an existing building. There are no additional public services or facilities required for the development of this property.
